My three younger children (ages 12, 10, and 7) have been attending Motivate Martial Arts, and it has been a great experience for our family. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping each child grow--not just in martial arts skills, but in confidence, discipline, and respect. We've especially noticed a boost in our 12-year-old's self-confidence, which has been such a gift to watch unfold. The atmosphere is positive and motivating, and each child is challenged at their own pace while still feeling like part of a team. We're so grateful to have a place like this in Monroe--Motivate Martial Arts is a solid investment in our kids' growth, both physically and mentally. read more

Sam has a blast at Motivate Martial Arts! So much that we've signed her up for 3 times a week! She is learning core values as well as defensive moves. The staff is helpful, patient, caring, dependable, and professional. Mr. Stephen even cares about what is going on at home and how he and the staff can incorporate the core value lessons into practical lessons the students can carry with them to use at home and at school. I've seen a big change in Sam's personality since starting karate. If you're on the fence, they do offer a few free classes. Sign your kids up and you'll be amazed at the difference you'll see in them. read more

All three of our girls started at Motivate back in August. Since we have started our girls have not only excelled in their marital art skills but also at home and school. Each one of the instructors are truly incredible with each of the students.They take the time to show them how to improve their skills, challenge them, and they listen to everything the kid have to say from their concerns to what they did at school that day. I would recommend Motivate Martial Arts again and again. read more

It is a perfect blend between workout, learning new material, and just plain fun!
